So….of course, it goes without saying, I have been away from updating my blog for some time. I have been through quite a few areas of life and blogging has not been on the forefront of my mind.

Over the past year or so, I have spent time traveling for pleasure, taking mission trips to Ukraine, and studying quite a bit. In the more recent past, I have completed a study group through a book called: Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands as a means of gaining some insight into Biblical counseling. In addition, I have completed a group study through Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology and am currently on a team to launch a new Church Campus of Clear Creek Community Church. All of this has kept me rather busy and I have failed to maintain a very strong online presence. Which of course, causes me to question what I am going to do about that.

In other news, I have seriously been considering becoming a missionary and more specifically, planting a church in the city of Lviv Ukraine. Unfortunately I have struggled to figure out just how I am going to get all of my student loans paid off and some money raised in order to launch that venture from a solid foundation. There are a lot of thoughts I have running through my mind on this subject and would really appreciate your prayers and words of advice/encouragement as I continue to explore what God would have me do and how He plans to accomplish that goal.

I do want to lift up my brother’s and sister’s in Ukraine….my brothers and sisters here in the states….and my fellow missionaries. May God bless you all and strengthen you and grow you for His purpose!!
